Relief Band, ErmTerm: Effective? Which one?
whogo replied to YourWorldWithBill's topic in Holland America Line
20% 1 star reviews for ReliefBand on Amazon is not impressive. The bands sound like quackery to me, but then I don't go for acupuncture, cupping therapy, aroma therapy, crystal healing, therapeutic touch, detoxification schemes, ear candling, phrenology, magnet therapy, Reiki, or coffee enemas. -
Welcome to Cruise Critic, Cagg. I was taken aback by your thread title. As a baby boomer from the USA, I remember "fellow traveller" as a term for a communist sympathiser.

It isn't the walking that I like about promenade decks, Hank, it's the lounge chairs. I love to sit and read on the promenade deck, beats any balcony cabin I have had. The promenade deck is closer to the water, gives a wider view, and has the option of shady/sunny and windy/calm and island view/ocean view. Not a deal breaker for me, my next ship will not have a promenade deck.

Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! I consider door decorations tacky... Moreso when they include a political message.

1) I did not find 38 days too many, knew I could do more, not sure about my wife. I have no clue how you will do. 2) People who tire of cruise line food must eat a much more varied diet at home than I do. 4) Yes, HAL provides onboard activities. Can you entertain yourself if they are not to your liking? 5) Heat and humidity are common near the equator. You are probably leaving the best weather of the year at home. I would prefer the reverse itinerary with a number of 25 hours days instead of 23 hour days. 6) Flying to Aukland from Georgia will be unpleasant at best, takes somewhere around 24 hours and you'll arrive two calendar days after you depart.

Like boatmad reported, there was a USB outlet on a table lamp in our Zaandam cheap suite.

Exactly. Bigwigs may hog the specialty restaurants or other venues for events you aren't invited to. There may be plenty of teething problems for staff and facilities. I would wait until the reviews are in. Would anyone be impressed that you were on the first sailing?

Crown Princess sails for 28 nights departing October 26, 2024 on an all Australia itinerary. Other Princess circumnavigations are available.

Circumnavigations of Australia from Sydney must be popular, I found a bunch of them. Scope out Holland America's competition: Queen Elizabeth for 30 nights starting 10/18/24 Oceania's Regatta on December 22, 2024 for 34 nights 31 nights on Viking Venus starting 1.20.25 31 nights Viking Orion on December 30, 2025 and February 27, 2026
